Hello,
I know that this request has already been made several times, but I'm making it again today as I'm flying in France, where there are more and more restricted or controlled areas.
It's about the possibility to add a "comment" field to the waypoint dialog. The comment should be displayed when hitting the waypoint (ideally you should be able to define a distance around this point), which would be a big plus in terms of comfort and safety.

In the absence of this facility, we have to manage the need for contact or attention related to safety outside SKYDEMON, which is not optimal in terms of comfort and safety.

Thanks

Sorry if I was unclear, this is the "edit user waypoint" waypoint management sub-screen. It should be possible to add a pop-up message that triggers when the waypoint is reached.

Thanks for clarifying.

What would be interesting, is to add that comment to the PLOG, as well. In my paper forms of the NFP (navigation flight plan), every waypoint has a remark/comment column in which I usually add additional information I want to have when approaching a waypoint. Most of the info I put there is already included in your PLOG in other parts (like radio frequencies), but there are situation when I still want to have those remarks.
The solution described above if already interesting, but what I do regularly is look at my NFP and see whats coming up, so I still would like to add those comments to the PLOG column of the waypoint.

One example would be specific information that I need to add to a CTR crossing radio call or a initial call to tower on departure.
